Re: Pool Foundation

You are on the right track - the crushed rock dust is often a favorite just for this purpose. Remember that the pavers need to be buried in the ground so that the tops are level with the ground. Make sure everything is level within 1/4-1/2" - use a lazer transit or water level.

Re: Pool Foundation

Thnaks for the input.

A guy here in town brought his backhoe out and scraped the ground for me. He didn't charge me anything and said he would bring the filler sand at no charge. His son goes to school with my son. My boy has Muscular Dystrophy and his doctor said a pool is the only good exercise he can get.

The area he dug out is a bit deep. I could put the pool on top of the dugout area, but I think it would settle too much over the next year. I think the rock dust or rock tailings are the way to go. I hear it is almost like concrete if you wet it and pack it down.
